January feels like the high point of winter and now that we're in February it seems like it's all downhill to April. Woo hoo! As a token of my affections I give you the new topic for this month's Write-Away Contest: Love. Not an unusual topic but I like it. So there. It seems appropriate and likely to spark your creativity and interest.

If you'd like to participate (and I'm hoping you do!) here are the rules:

1. Write a post or find one in your archives on the topic, Love, and email your post's permalink to me at: scribbit at gmail.com any time through Wednesday February 20th. If you fail to meet the February 20th deadline I will still happily publish the link to your post and include it in the list of entries but it will not be judged. I reserve the right to reject submissions if they fail to meet the topic or if they contain objectionable content.

2. Publish a link to the contest page here at Scribbit in either your entry post or in a separate post.

3. Check back here on Friday February 22nd when I will post a complete list of the entries along with the Write-Away Winner and any honorable mentions our judge sees fit to award.

This month's prize is a selection of tasty Alaskan items. The first is a cute little jar of cranberry hot chocolate mix, the second a bag of wild blueberry and white chocolate dipped pretzels and the third is a jar of homemade (yes, by me) Alaskan wild blueberry jam. We picked the berries ourselves last summer as you see in this post here. Where you gonna get a deal like that?

But besides this the winner and all runners-up or honorable mentions (I leave that up to the judge to award them) will also get to take home this attractive Write-Away Winner button which he or she may display in their sidebar if they wish.

Good luck, I look forward to reading your entries.

And if you have forgotten, I'm posting at Design Mom this week--if you're not up for a Write-Away Contest you could always see what I'm writing about over there (hint: it's tasty).

These have been so much fun for me. I thought about this one, thought some more, and decided I just couldn't do it. And the today, out of the blue, I thought of something that I could use for this. I emailed you my submission.
